Thread Subject: serial.fwrite Timeout occured

Hi

I have quite an annoying thing going on that I receive a timeout from
the serial interface after 10.000 succesful write to the same one.

??? Error using => serial.fwrite at 184
A timeout occured during the write operation

Anyone an idea how I can catch such a thingy that matlab doesnt crash?

many thanks,
Clemens

Clemens, is that r2007a? I had some serial timeout issues and was advised to upgrade to r2008a which did fix my problem (a read problem). What version are you using?

Yes, that is exactly my problem. What I have read is that the serial
command is executed anyway despite the error so I should just use a try
and catch block to ignore it for now!

If you can trap 'em its a good thing. If you still have any problems you can always just download a demo version (30-days) of r2008 and its instrument control toolbox to see if that fixes the problem.
Good luck!
